Universal's horror film 'Other Mommy,' starring Jessica Chastain and directed by Rob Savage, opened to an estimated $27.5 million domestically over its Oct. 9-11, 2026 debut weekend, according to studio estimates reported by Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter. That total fell short of the $30 million threshold in question, though it beat pre-release tracking, which had pegged the film between roughly $17 million and $25 million. The film also took in about $45.2 million worldwide across 50 international markets against a reported $19 million production budget. Despite the strong commercial debut, 'Other Mommy' received a D+ CinemaScore and mixed-to-negative reviews, with Rotten Tomatoes scores in the high teens to low 20s. Its opening outpaced genre competitor 'The Social Reckoning,' which debuted the same weekend to far smaller numbers. Industry trackers characterized the result as one of 2026's stronger horror openings, helped by a wide 3,365-theater release and limited new competition in the genre that weekend. Predict Six's community leaned toward "no" on the $30 million threshold, with only 38% predicting "yes," correctly anticipating that the film would land just short of that mark despite outperforming most pre-release forecasts.
